Which form is the Private Citizen Accident Report Form?

• A. SF-95
• B. SF-94
• C. SF-91
• D. OPM-71

Answer: (A)

The form for a private citizen to file a claim against the United States for damages or injuries is the one used for Federal Tort Claims Act claims. It’s the standard claim form that private individuals submit when seeking compensation from the government for harm caused by a federal employee in the course of official duty. This isn’t limited to vehicle crashes; it covers a broad range of incidents where negligence or wrongful act by a government employee led to injury or damage. That broader purpose makes it the best fit for a Private Citizen Accident Report. In contrast, motor vehicle–specific claims are handled with a different form, which is narrower in scope and focuses on auto accidents. So, the Private Citizen Accident Report Form corresponds to the SF-95.
